What value of a satisfies the following equation? -2(a + 3) = -4a + 32

Mathematics

Answer:

a = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

-2(a + 3) = -4a + 32

-2a - 6 = -4a +32

<u> +2a        +2a       </u>

-6 = -2a + 32

<u>-32         -32</u>

-38 = -2a

divide by -2

<u><em>a = 19</em></u>

Answer:

a=19

Step-by-step explanation:

-2(a+3) = -4a + 32

-2a - 6 = -4a + 32(<em>Group</em><em> </em><em>like</em><em> </em><em>terms</em><em>)</em>

<em>-2a</em><em>+</em><em>4</em><em>a</em><em>=</em><em>3</em><em>2</em><em>+</em><em>6</em>

<em>2</em><em>a</em><em>=</em><em>3</em><em>8</em><em>(</em><em>Divide</em><em> </em><em>both</em><em> </em><em>sides</em><em> </em><em>by</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em>)</em>

<em>a</em><em>=</em><em>1</em><em>9</em>

Find the equation of the line that passes through the following two points: (3, -7) and (7, 2)
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

y=\frac{9}{4}x-\frac{55}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

Slope formula: \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

Given points: (3, -7), (7, 2)

(3, -7) = (x1, y1)

(7, 2) = (x2, y2)

To write the equation in slope-intercept form, we need to find the slope(m) and the y-intercept(b) of the equation.

First, let's find the slope. To do this, input the given points into the slope formula:

\frac{2-(-7)}{7-3}

Simplify:

2 - (-7) = 2 + 7 = 9

7 - 3 = 4

\frac{9}{4}

The slope is \frac{9}{4}.

To find the y-intercept, input the slope and one of the given points(in this example I'll use point (7, 2)) into the equation and solve for b:

2=\frac{9}{4}(7)+b

2=\frac{63}{4}+b

-\frac{55}{4} =b

The y-intercept is -\frac{55}{4}.

Now that we know the slope and the y-intercept, we can write the equation:

y=\frac{9}{4}x-\frac{55}{4}

seven different gifts are to be distributed among 10 children. How many distinct results are possible if no child is to receive
Alik [6]

Answer:

120 distinct results are possible if no child is to receive more than one gifts.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the order is not important, we use the combination formula:

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

The order is said to be not important if for example, John receiving the Buffalo Bills jersey and then Laura receiving the Cleveland Browns jersey is the same as Laura receiving the Cleveland Browns jersey before John receives the Buffalo Bills jersey.

In this problem, we have that:

Combinations of 7 from a set of 10 elements. So

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

C_{10,7} = \frac{10!}{7!(3)!} = 120

120 distinct results are possible if no child is to receive more than one gifts.

Elena’s bus runs every 20 minutes. If she arrives at her bus stop at a random time, what is the probability that she will have t
Bond [772]
We try to represent the data in segments from 0 to 20.
<span>The length of the line segment along the number line from 0 to 5 is 5 - 0 = 5 units. The length of the line segment along the number line from 20 to 5 is 20 - 5 = 15 units. If you were to randomly throw a dart on this number line, then the probability of landing in the shaded region is 15/20 = 3/4 or 75%</span>
